ABSTRACT The coming out process is complex and diverse. Some believe being out is optimal for health, while others suggest that disclosing one’s sexual orientation invites rejection, isolation, and many other dangers. Moreover, this process has been critiqued for being constructed through the experiences of white middle-class gay men. Given these critiques, clinicians must be wary of positioning coming out as a goal of therapy when working with queer adolescents, especially for adolescents of color. This article aims to offer family therapists trans-theoretically informed points of considerations when working with this population as well as to decolonize the coming out process.

壁橱是壁橱吗？与拉丁@青少年和家庭的出柜过程非殖民化

摘要 出柜过程复杂多样。有些人认为外出最有利于健康，而另一些人则认为公开自己的性取向会招致拒绝、孤立和许多其他危险。此外，这个过程被批评是通过白人中产阶级男同性恋者的经历构建的。鉴于这些批评，临床医生在与酷儿青少年一起工作时，尤其是有色人种青少年时，必须警惕将出柜定位为治疗目标。本文旨在为家庭治疗师在与这一人群合作时提供跨理论的考虑要点，以及对即将到来的过程进行非殖民化。
